Norton antivirus wont allow firefox to download because it says it's "adware", can the lenovo ideapad download firefox?

I have a 2003 Lenovo Ideapad run by windows 7 and it wont download firefox. When I click download it asks me if I want to run or save I click run. Then Norton antivirus prevents it from downloading because it says it's "adware". How do I get past this problem??? Thank you for any help it is very much appreciated!

If you are downloading Firefox from [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/ Mozilla.org], this download is safe. You can disable your antivirus for the download process.

I tried to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox but on the Firefox start page is still says "you are not on the latest version of Firefox, upgrade now"

I tried to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox but on the Firefox start page it still says "you are not on the latest version of Firefox, upgrade now". The start page looks different so maybe it did upgrade but why does the reminder still show?

You may see that message below the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old Firefox default home page. It appears that page is no longer being maintained by Google. You appear to have the latest Firefox version.
'''If you want the Google search page as your home page,''' change your home page to '''''about:home''''' (a new, updated version of the old Google/Firefox home page is now built-in to Firefox).

After 4 repetitions I think I got that straight.
Answer: Return the CD.
Or did you mean this was an album you bought from iTunes, in which case it really isn't a "CD" (which is a hard, plastic, shiny disc) and I'm at risk of getting confused. If it is a corrupt file that you downloaded, delete the file and try downloading it again.

You can't install the App Store version of Mavericks because your model needs a special version. If you ever need to reinstall it, boot into Recovery.

leroydouglas is correct, DO NOT install Norton or any other commercial anti virus software. They all work very poorly with Macs. If you insist on AV software, consider Sophos, it is free.
If you do wish to update your OSX, here are the available options:

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Leigh...
but cannot do this because I cannot access Mac App Store
If you can't access the App Store from the Apple menu, Dock, or Applications folder installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you.
It's ok to do this even you are already running v10.6.8.

FYI: Some third party software can cause issues with the App Store > Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text

I too had this problem after I redeemed two $50 gift cards. I solved the problem by uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it. Give it a try.

Can the volume for downloaded music tracks be synced and how

can the volume for downloaded music tracks from itunes be synced and how if so

Hard to know what the cause is because it's like this
I know what I did to cause this. I upgraded my one of my hard drives, renamed the drive and moved the folder. The missing pictures it can't find were added with the option in the advance menu "copy photo to library" turned off.
and this
What I did is added a small SSD as my primary drive. Put the OS and all the apps on it. Moved my iPhoto and iTunes libraries to an large external. Most of the picture it is not having a problem wth. Only certain ones. Don't actually think I unchecked tha prefeence, but it's acting like i have.
seem to be written by two different people.

Have a nice day. I can't open the books linked to the Adobe ID. Always the overallocation says. But some of the books I downloaded two times. Still, it gives a warning in the form of more installations.

This is my first mac so i am still learning...

First, make sure you are logged into the App Store with the same AppleID that you used to purchase the apps.
If that is not it, look in the App Store under Purchases. Are they there?
If not, go into your account in App Store and click the link to show hidden purchases.
If they are still not there, use the support link in the App Store.
If they do show up, copy all the apps to an external drive, then remove them from your Mac. Go to the App Store, Purchases, and install from there.

Hey Louni,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issues with Authorizing your computer to play content. The following articles may help to resolve this issue:
